There is a poll this week by one of the members and it asks how many questions one needs to solve in order to feel comfortable.
A few respondents indicated up to 10,000.
I am the one who said less, closer to a thousand.
I just don't think one really needs to solve so many questions, esp since many of them are very similar.
I would love to hear what you think and what your perspectives are on this issue. Do you think you need a few thousand questions to make it?
I will be waiting.

Hi
About a year ago I've heard an oppinion that one needs to practice only about 200 Q to do well on GMAT. I was at the starting point of my preparation then, as a result not very much experienced, but I can remember how happy I was to hear about that fact.
Next year has shown me that I was far too optimistic. I haven't passed my Test yet, but anyway I tend to believe that the figure must be at least 1 000. May be not so high as 5 or 10 K but still.
I can explain my thoughts. As each of you knows the number of good Q is rather limited. To my endless sorrow the number of good Q with good explanations is even more limited. So in my opinion there is no need to burn good ones when you are getting used to the GMAT format, different types of question etc. In my situation things were even worse. The last time I got in possesion math book had been ten years before I decided to start GMAT "quest", as a result I used lots of questiones just to get used to math again :D
I agree with Bogdan that stategy and mistake analysis not the number of questions must be the key to successful GMAT. If you have less than 1 000 Q, but you are sure about their quality/difficulty and you are generally strong in all the test areas go because you hardly need more

Hi BB
This issue is rather worth discussing with GMAT prospective taker.
Many people believe that the more you do practice question, the better you can do well on this actual test, including me.
Maybe,the proverb-- " Practice makes perfect!"-- could illustrate this phenomenon.
In fact, I am adherent about this belief.
I agree sergei's opinion that the suitable and quality practice question is rarely on current market. I believe anyone only work and practice on their stuff and then do well on GMAT test if having excellent materials.
In this site, I think it could play a role about how to search or where this stuff downloads from, etc.
As for figure, I don't have overall concept about this issue.
